The problem was mine, which I first asked Minh, who kindly
communicated it to the group. I have since discovered ulimit, which
is a very powerful part of the bash shell. There is documentation:
type "help ulimit" in a bash shell and you'll see the equivalent of a
man page. ("man bash" is too huge.)
I was running a highly unoptimized program (basically a brute-force
search), and probably if I was more careful with my program I wouldn't
have run into memory issues.
cheers,
Alasdair
